Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire- Short Form

About#

The Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) is to assess sleep behaviors in children typically between the ages of 4 to 12 years. It examines various aspects of sleep, including bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep duration, anxiety around sleep, night wakings, and daytime sleepiness. The CSHQ is used to identify sleep disturbances, understand their impact on daytime functioning, and evaluate interventions aimed at improving sleep patterns in children. It provides valuable data on sleep-related issues and contributes to studies on child development and health.
